i mean rules like cold ranges where people arent allowed to carry a weapon cc'd or oc'd, only the firearm they are shooting @ the range at that time, or clubs where carry isnt permitted on grounds at all

Nothing stated explicitedly in rules except all guns unloaded and pointed in safe direction when doing target maintenance (presumably this refers to guns being fired). Don't see any problem with CC, I always carry when at range.

If you want to be sure you can send question through website. Or call FINANCIAL SEC.
